Ferrocenyl-azobenzene carboxylic acid was synthesized and used as electrochemically and spectroscopically active marker that was conjugated to thymine PNA monomer. Ferrocenyl-azobenzene labeled PNA monomer of thymine (Fc-Azo-T) shows highly electrochemical and photochemical activity. The detection limit of Fc-Azo-T can reach 10(-6) M by using differential pulsed voltammogram (DPV), and the UV-vis limit is in the order 10(-7) M in ethanol. Fc-Azo-T can undergo facile isomerization by photoirradiation. The results give great motivity for synthesizing ferrocenyl-azobenzene labeled PNA oligomers used as an effective electrochemical and photochemical probes. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
